Abstract

The increasing number of regional cooperation developments has attracted many researchers and scholars to explore further. This paper has utilized theoretical perspectives in analyzing the development of regional cooperation of Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). This article explores the development of SADC and RCEP from the lens of regionalism, neoliberal institutionalism and linkage politics theories. This study is based on a combination of thorough literature review and semi-structured interviews. By drawing regionalism theory and utilizing neoliberal institutionalism, the results show that both SADC and RCEP have made adjustments despite the differences and have pursued common goals based on common interests as the basis of these formations under the common agendas that have been agreed on. From the lens of linkage politics theory shows that the paths to realize the common goals were challenging for both formations due to the different interests of many involving countries influenced by domestic level politics.

区域经济合作发展的障碍：理论视角

越来越多的区域合作发展吸引了许多研究人员和学者进一步探索。本文运用理论视角分析了南部非洲发展共同体（SADC）和区域全面经济伙伴关系（RCEP）的区域合作发展。本文从区域主义、新自由主义制度主义和联系政治理论的视角探讨了SADC和RCEP的发展。本研究采用文献综述和半结构化访谈相结合的方法。通过借鉴区域主义理论并运用新自由主义制度主义，研究结果表明，尽管存在差异，南共体和RCEP都进行了调整，并在已达成一致的共同议程下，以共同利益为基础追求共同目标。从联系政治理论的角度来看，由于受到国内政治的影响，许多相关国家的利益不同，两种形式实现共同目标的路径都具有挑战性。
